Jason has kindly agreed to do a Q&A post game as part of the Legends bar running order Sunday.

There is a rota basis now at every game so we have a number of different past players at each and every game.

Fantastic to have the guys back were they belong and another barrier broken down as we move the club onwards at pace.

These guys have always wanted to be doing what they are doing they just needed a board and the club to make them welcome and make it viable.

Nothing is impossible as we are proving and all the old myths about the RFL and LSV and this that and the other are being laid to rest one by one by simply conducting ourselves as a Board and club in a strong and professional manner and communicating with people like businessmen.

Jason is doing himself and the last players proud and working extremely hard by the way, well done mate respect

Hi,

Like Andy said, I've volunteered this week to do the Q&A's - keep them easy, I have my kids with me! (don't mention a certain ban!)

This week attending the game we have Neil McCulloch, Gary Stradins, Andy Collier, Steve Cawley, Sid Baldwin, Paul Norman and Keith Latham who are part of the association.

Like I've said before the association will only be successful if we get former players to be part of it - the more the merrier! I know some players feel that they don't belong as they 'only' made a couple of appearances. I believe this doesn't matter, whether a player has made 1 or 100 games, we are all part of the history of the club and have worn the jersey. I'm sure there are many supporters out there who would love to have represented Leigh - we have all had that privilege.

We are doing our best to reach out to as many players as possible, and we rely on word of mouth, supporters asking players they know and players doing the same. We must thank Mark Taylor for his piece in the reporter and The Parkinsons for airing it on LCTV. The club have been very welcoming and want it to be successful as we do.

So please, regardless of which past player is with us, whether it is one of our most popular players or perhaps someone who may be one of those players out of the 166 who have played just once, make us feel welcome!

The heritage launch looks really exciting, a lot of hard work is being done behind the scenes at the moment and once the club are in a position to finalise things, I'm sure they will announce it in the right channels. The hard work that Mike Latham is throwing together is amazing, and I feel very privileged to have seen some of this work.

Mike and his team are amazing - I'm sure all Leigh fans are looking forward to the heritage launch - lets get as many players on board doing the same!

Hi Jason.

Has Martin Roden joined? If not I could get in touch with him for you.

That could be your little challenge Ian!

Jason

OK Jason when I am off work on Tuesday I will go and see him.

Hi Jason, I have spoke to Martin Roden and he says he's interested in joining and could you please give him a ring at Body Image Gym on 746800 he's there most of the time as he's the manager there, OK mate please let me know you've seen this message, cheers.

Thanks Ian - I will give him a ring!

Keep spreading the word!


Jason

OK Jason no worries , he will probably be able to get in touch with a few more ex player as well.

was talking to Ray fisher at his shop on warrington Road the other day. Methinks he could be interested. no harm in giving him a call or calling in. (New sausages are moreish!) Closed Wed. Tel (early) 674397

I've asked his niece to ask him!
Could do with a chat with him - he cost my dad his debut! Apparently my dad was down to play his first game on Good Friday 1962 (I know this because my mum said she was expecting my sister - mum fainted in the crowd and woke up in Leigh Infirmary!) anyway, Ray declared himself fit so my dad (John Donohue) sat on the 'bench' - no subs in them days!
So my dad got close to making an appearance!

Just had a call from Bob Beardmore ! I have around 90 emails for players who have played for Leigh (not bad considering we have had 1340 players play for Leigh!) - we are trying our best to get lads to be part of the association. Please keep spreading the word about the association - it can only be successful if we can get numbers up! Pass on the email: leighcpa@gmail.com
